Vexing People: A reader says that the legal equivalent of Munchausen’s is the “vexatious litigant,” a term which turns up throughout the English-speaking world in a google search. I’m not so sure it’s quite the same as Munchausen’s, though. The vexatious litigant examples I could find seemed more like vindictivecranks than people addicted to the drama of the court system. But, then, maybe it’s impossible to tell the difference. posted by Sydney on
